What is the story about?

As Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Alec Pierce continues to ramp up following offseason ankle surgery, head coach Shane Steichen provided some good news after Thursday's practice.

Pierce had been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list for nearly all of training camp, going through the rehab process. Up to this point, he had taken part in individual work.

However, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Steichen said that Pierce was a full participant on Thursday and took part in the team portion of practice.

On Tuesday of this week, GM Chris Ballard said that the "plan" was still for Pierce to be available for Week 1.

While we have to see how next week unfolds and what Pierce's practice status is at that time, he appears to be trending

in the right direction.
